I posted a trip update in the Daytona Beach thread. I didn't try to wear my thong at the Hilton since I was there with coworkers, but I did wear my speedo with no hassle. As you'll see in my report, Ormond Beach is a better bet for thonging than Daytona (although it's perfectly legal on any beach in Volusia county.

Need to know best best to frolic all day in the sun for this saturday for me and the wife to rock our thongs (tanning, walking, swimming, paddleball, etc.). We are going to new smyrna beach, would like to know of any thong friendly hotels in that area too. Might end up trying the nude beach, but sometimes its more sexy to be the brave ones in barely nothing opposed to everyone in nothing.

Okay, so probably going thong over nude. Should we do new Smyrna or Apollo? Best overall experience. ( beach quality, thong acceptance, facilities, etc.) It's a Saturday too. We like social but space, not overcrowded, and friendly or tolerant to thongs.

YoungThongCouple: first of all, if you don't want a high traffic area, then stay away from Flagler Avenue. The driving legal beach goes north from there all the way to the inlet, and several miles south as well. Between Flagler Avenue and the inlet are some more residential sections of beach. By that, I mean they have houses and fewer high-rise type places, and no beachfront restaurants and such. You could also go all the way to the inlet, park on the beach, then walk along the inlet and you will have no vehicle traffic and light foot traffic.

Alternatively, you could skip driving on the beach entirely and park free at one of the city or county parks along the beach. Towards the south end of NSB, there are some of these parks on sections of beach that are closed to vehicles. Those should have showers, but the downside is that they will also have lots of children around.

Hi Everyone,My wife and I are going to New Smyrna Beach in a few weeks. We plan on going to the end of Apollo beach and stripping down nude (how can you resist?). But we also would like to spend a little time on the beach with some minimal swimwear. She has some very brief, sheer a Wicked Weasels and I have a Skinz rio back string and am buying a Beach N Dance narrow back suit. For real, where can we push the envelope a little, and enjoy a little exhibitionism without getting trouble at NSB? I imagine the clothed areas of Apollo are fine, but I'm thinking on the regular beach. We will be renting a cottage walking distance from the sand.

Hello gw32I went to Apollo on Monday and had a fabulous time. Lot 5 was full by 9am and 2,3,and 4 all had nudies south and north of the walkover. I don't know where in NSB to go to 'push the envelope' but if you post on here when you will be going, I would be happy to join you. I love meeting people and making friends!Safe travels!

Yes, 5 is still the popular legal beach and fills up quick but they are allowing it at 2,3, and 4. Just go north or south of the walkover a ways and you are fine. Rangers drove the length of the beach twice on Monday and never stopped or said anything.

I wouldn't doubt they are being more accepting to get more people to come to the park. Having parking for ??8-12 nude people and everyone else has to walk or is shut out won't bring their gate counts up. They never get any funding without people!Don't know if there's a funding need of the Apollo end over the Playalinda end of the National Seashore.If they have expanded space for people there will be a boom in tourism to the areas at both ends.

Late to come to come back to this thread with an update. We were in NSB for a week in early October and had a wonderful time. We were at Apollo four times, lot 4 and 5. There were very few nude people and not one in anything even brief. We parked at 4 and walked south (towards lot 5) and a few times at 5 and settled not far from the entrance. I wore a Beach n Dance narrow back low cut from the car all the way until we found our spot - but then got right to being nude :-) No problem at all. Of course wearing a tiny suit on a beach that is a "nude" beach isn't actually daring, LOL On the other hand, at NSB beach proper (we were staying at the Crawford St area - several blocks north of Flagler) there were a lot of fully clothed people walking about, a bunch of "normal" suits. One lovely, fit, woman in a very small thong. Lost my nerve with the Beach n Dance suit, since it gets a little see-through when wet (oops) so I opted for a very brief N2N bikini - one with an "extreme" pouch. Felt totally comfortable with that one. It is very form fitting and snug, so it's a pretty sexy, radical suit relative to what most guys wear.Next time I'd definitely give a narrow back (which rides up to a thong almost immediately on me) or thong a try - I just need one that is opaque when wet. Which I have already ordered.:-)I'll keep the sheer when wet one for South Beach, I guess. ;-)

gw-Once inside Canaveral, I too only wear a thong when not on the nude beach. I love walking around in the parking lots, walkovers, and beaches in the thong. I love the stares and looks.I know what you feel about loosing your nerve when on the textile beach proper. Some days it can be daring, others, not so much.Glad you guys had a good time.

I know what you mean. I road my bike from parking 4 to parking 5 a couple times only wearing a thong. A good thrill even when I saw the female ranger at #5. No worries. Everyone is layed back.A very nice time. I must return in the spring.

Daytonanudist, I thought thongs were illegal in state parks. I was going to go to n peninsula Saturday but went to Ormand by the sea instead. Of coarse thongs there as well and saw a couple young girls walking on A1A in a thong in Flagler which is supposed to be illegal as well.

planning NSB area visit. what is your take on walking on the beach nude from lot 4 toward lot 5, acceptable or not? also thonging in the area of sea woods condos ( dollar general store) neighborhood, better to thong north toward proper or south of the access? have always worn rios in these areas, but would like to minimize the lines! realize the 4th of july holiday is bad planning on my part, but have to make the most of what time is available. any comment or experience related to the park on the north edge looking toward/across ponce inlet? have heard some positive comments, as relates to thongs. thanks for keeping us informed!!

North Peninsula State Park is across A1A and the dunes No thongs there. The beach sand is Volusia County, thong legal. Thongs are so common and the styles are so varied it is not like it was several years ago that citing people for thong wearing seems ridiculous.

Nudity has basically been permitted in Canaveral as long as you are out of sight from the walkover. Be respectful and have something to throw on if someone wonders down looking for shells and if the rangers ride by (they are not dumb, they know). Thongs can be worn anywhere.

Yep.I went to appolo beach last year to the nude section. It was great and bonus.,, there were some good looking girls out there on spring break who eventually joined the party so to speak and went naked. Wish I could get back down there sometime.

I've never been bothered by rangers at either section of Cape Canaveral National Seashore that is designated as c/o (clothing optional). I walk the beach nude (if you don't count sunglasses and sometimes a hat). The c/o sections are at the ends of the roads. If I remember correctly, the parking lotsfor the c/o sections are 6 (north or New Smyrna beach end) and 13 (south or Titusville end) - in any event just go as far as the road will take you.

Thongs seem completely fine on Apollo, and nude from lot #5 heading south. Iif you get a backcountry pass from the ranger at the entrance you can walk as far as you can handle - miles and miles and miles - usually without seeing a person. You can be nude but it's probably a good idea o have something (like a tiny thong) to put on "just in case" and you'll need that backcountry pass on you at all times.Two years ago my wife and I were in the backcountry area of playalinda (the section is actually called Klondike beach - so it's the middle part of that 20+ mile beach), all by ourselves with our stuff, completely naked. A Ranger came driving along, checking turtle nests and she diverted her path to us. I carried on a whole conversation with her while completely naked. The only thing she asked about was whether we had our backcountry pass on us.

What is the best place to thong on NSB? Not canaveral. I want somewhere with showers that is semi secluded. I'm going tomorrow. North or south? Basically I want somewhere to swim and shower without kids around.

There is a shower at Canaveral at Beach #1 at New Smyrna. Pit toilet only, not a flush. Beach is nice and I've thonged there many times over the years. Usually a lot of fishermen there and never a problem. This section is in Volusia County where things are legal on the beaches. Lots of big waves every time I visited, a little rough swimming and a workout just standing in the waves!
